  "account": "England suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in ten years, surrendering a 31-22 defeat to Canada in the WXV Global Series. Maddie Feaunati opened the scoring for the Red Roses with a try in the first 10 minutes, converted by Zoe Harrison. However, England failed to recover from their 24-21 loss in Toronto earlier in the week, which ended their four-year unbeaten streak. Despite overturning the half-time deficit to take a 17-12 lead, Canada regained the advantage before extending their lead to 31-17. Captain Sophie de Goede sealed the victory with a hat-trick, including three successful conversions, while Harrison kicked the only penalty of the match in the 42nd minute. England concluded their WXV Global Series campaign with a match against the US in New Jersey on Friday.",
